The Orange County Arts Commission is please to announce the recipients of the Operational Support Grant Program. This new program was approved by the Board of County Commissioners in September, 2020, citing a need to support the nonprofit arts industry that contributes $130M annually to the local economy and employs approximately 4,000 residents.

“The arts are the heart and soul of our community. It is important that we support their creative efforts through these difficult times,” states Board of County Commissioners Chair Penny Rich.

The following twelve local organizations will receive support grants to aid with operational expense during the coronavirus pandemic:
